A Dundee care home did not meet two of four improvement requirements that are legally enforceable.
Pitkerro Care Centre did not take sufficient action to promote safety in the home or ensure the premises were well maintained.
The orders were made by the Care Inspectorate on its previous visit and, when the inspectorate’s officer arrived unannounced last month, she found they had not been met.
The home safety requirement related to footplates which had been removed from wheelchairs and the maintenance problem was a heavily stained lounge carpet.
Samuel Maierovits, managing director of home operators Hudson Senior Living, said the footplates have now been replaced and the company will ensure they remain in place.
He added that the carpet staining had been rectified and the carpet is now looking like new. The managing director said the home will continue to strive towards excellence in every area.
Pitkerro Care Centre is for older people with physical, short-term and dementia-related conditions, and includes an intermediate unit for NHS patients undergoing rehabilitation to their own homes.
The home received grades of adequate for the quality of care and support and the quality of management and leadership. Environment and staffing were not inspected.
A Care Inspectorate spokeswoman said: “During a recent inspection it was noted that there were some improvements made in some areas at the care service.
“We are working with the service to improve the quality of care and it is our expectation that further improvement will be achieved to address outstanding issues at the earliest opportunity.
“We will continue to rigorously monitor these as the health, safety and wellbeing of residents is of paramount importance.”
